  1. Guidance (including examples) and solver assumptions in ICM help

    Could the ICM help be refreshed/updated and include more examples and/or details of the physics / assumptions / settings used by the simulation solver? Some examples below
    - Orifice control – Technical paper “Orifices” (June 2005) is not available anymore. Could this be updated and re-introduced as it was valuable guidance
    - Head / discharge curves – “The overall relationship between discharge and head in both directions is represented as a data table of up to 15 discharge values at head values equally spaced by a specified increment.” It seems that more than 15 values can be used and not…

    The orifice control paper is an older CS/SD paper that was not included in the InfoWorks ICM.  We can look into updating that for InfoWorks ICM.


    The Head/Discharge curve statement appears to be a remnant of HydroWorks.  InfoWorks can have an arbitrary number of entries in a head-discharge curve and they do not need to be evenly spaced by head.

  2. Easily break into a conduit with a new node

    To be able to insert a node (manhole) onto an existing conduit, and have the conduit split at the new node. the node chamber floor would be at the invert of the conduit at that point and that same invert would be assigned to the replacement conduits at that node. The upstream and downstream inverts of the conduit are to remain the same.

    I see this as being a very useful tool for designing drainage layouts where it becomes obvious the original layout needs additional pits to meet the required capture rates.

  4. rectangular flap valve

    To avoid endless work around discusions on how to model a rectengular flap valve when only circular flap valves can be implemented in a model, having the option to model with rectangular flap valves would be verry usefull.

  5. Initialize reservoir levels from measured data in ICM / ICMLive

    Currently I can force my live simulations to initialize with measured level using dummy outfalls and sluice gates that close after the simulation starts with RTC, but that's very cumbersome to maintain.

    Going to set this to completed as the new SQL functionality achieves the desired end result and removes the need for dummy outfalls.

  7. Straighten section tool

    At the moment it is possible to have non straight survey sections brought in, which may result in incorrect cross section lengths, straightening these was possible in RS, it would be good to have the same in ICM.
